Some states (Florida for example) consider extended warranties to be a insurance policy and are regulated by the state insurance commission. In Florida you cannot discount a extended warranty and you cannot overcharge, you must charge the MSRP of the warranty ($500 on the Grom) or you can opt to give it away in the deal. Honda charges the dealership $250 for that extended warranty. If your dealer is charging you more than $500 then they can also charge you less. Negotiation time.
Honda's warranty, just like all other warranties, will cover everything but: Abuse, Neglect or Normal Wear. My experience with Honda is their warranty is very good and they are good about honoring the terms. However they do tend to want to make all the decisions and micro manage claims, this can slow the process.
Buying a extended warranty makes you a more valuable customer (in Honda's eyes.). It ties you to the brand and their dealers, for 5 years.
